Chapter 2076: Taking Refuge

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue never thought that what she did would have inadvertently brought about such a change to Happiness City.

After they left Happiness City, they found a remote place to stop and rest.

Sima You Yue called out Nan Yu Miao.

Nan Yu Miao was seriously injured and his body was having difficulty maintaining a condensed state.

Sima You Yue used her spirit intent and penetrated his consciousness. She wanted to extract some useful information in his sea of consciousness but found that his consciousness was restricted and she was unable to forcibly break through.

“Seems like he’s guarded against this!” She placed Nan Yu Miao back into the soul stone. Inside, his injuries would recover slowly. When she needed him again, he wouldn’t be in this state anymore.

“Hua Wu Xiang and Mu Luo Feng are both competent people under Xiao He. The both of them can’t stand each other to begin with. Under Xiao He’s pressure, they got along with each other begrudgingly. But this is only superficial, the moment something happens, the grievances between the two of them will explode.”Wu Lingyu said.

“Now the opportunity is right in front of us.” The corner of Sima You You’s mouth rose. She was in a good mood at the thought of being able to hara.s.s the two commanders under him.

Originally, what she had discussed with Di Zhe was that since Qing Hun had changed her Mother’s seal, naturally he wouldn’t hand over the Western Cardinal Points Divine Seal. Therefore, they had to find a way to make Qing Hun hand over the Western Cardinal Points Divine Seal.

He seemed to be greedy and l.u.s.tful, and was eager for quick success, but other than that, he didn’t seem to have any weaknesses. Against such a strong and hostile person, this was really nerve-racking.

When she was in Immortal Hex City, she and Di Zhe had discussed that she should start with Xiao He, so that Xiao He would be the breakthrough against Qing Hun. However, at that time, the target was Xu Yu, but Xu Yu had been entangled in the matters of the Pure Snow Lotus at this time.

However, later on in Big Beardy’s memories, she learnt about the grievances between Mu Luo Feng and Hua Wu Xiang. She also learnt about the time bomb named Nan Yu Miao between them. She would be letting Big Beardy down if she didn’t make good use of this information.

“Then let’s go to look for Hua Wu Xiang now, but I don’t know where he is now.”

“The ten commanders have their own districts they are responsible for. He is also considered a public figure, someone is bound to know his whereabouts.” Wu Lingyu said.

“That’s easy for you to say, the Divine Vermillion District is so big. Even if we know where he is, by the time we get there, he will definitely not be there anymore.”

“We must at least know where he is first. We don’t even know his general location now, so we can’t make plans for our next step.” Wu Lingyu rubbed her hair, “Don’t worry, since Nan Yu Miao is in our hands, those two won’t be able to escape.”

“Well, I am a little anxious.” Sima You Yue pouted, “Let’s find a city further away and inquire.”

The two of them walked for a long distance before they chose a city that looked prosperous. They had to pay a large entrance fee before they could enter the city. Also, for some unknown reason, the queue to enter the city was very long.

Sima You Yue couldn’t see the city gate in front, there was no end to the queue behind her. The battle array here was much stronger than that at Happiness City.

Each person’s entrance fee was one thousand mid-grade crystal stones. This multiplied by the mighty teams, how much daily entrance fee did they take in?

“Is Hua Wu Xiang crazy about money?” The entrance fee alone is so expensive. Sima You Yue sighed emotionally.

“Little girl, have you only just arrived here?” An elderly man who was in front of her heard her words and turned around to talk to her.

“Yes, I’ve not been here long, and I’ve only been to two cities.” Sima You Yue answered vaguely, “But there weren’t so many people in the city I went to before this. Why are there so many people here? Everyone pays so much to enter the city day after day, aren’t the rulers making a lot of profit?”

The old man smiled and said: “Little girl, you’re overthinking things! How can there be this many people everyday? Moreover, the entrance fee is only higher these few days, it is usually lower.”

“Oh? What’s so special about these few days?” Sima You Yue asked curiously.

“It seems that you’re really new here.” The old man said, “It is the annual Tempest Season Festival these few days.”

“What does the Tempest season have to do with entering the city?”

“Of course it is to take refuge in the city! The wind at this time of the year is not ordinary wind. There is strong power in the wind and it can blow people’s bodies away. During this time, the only thing we can do is to stay in the city and use the moat to resist the power of the wind.” The old man explained, “That’s why there are more people entering the city during this period of time. The entrance fee is also more expensive.”

“What if you can’t afford to pay the entrance fee? Then you will have to stay outside and get blown away by the wind?”

“There are other ways. For example, you can volunteer to serve them as conscripted labor for a year, if they agree, you can enter without paying. If you are not willing to do this, then the only thing you can do is wait for death outside.”

“That’s quite humane.”

“Of course not.” The old man sighed and shook his head, “Though it is only one year of conscripted labor, the fact is no one knows how many people will come out alive. We have lost a few friends this way.”

“There is such a thing!”

“Of course there is. Do you really think those rulers are that good? Loose cultivators like us with no strength or background, no one will notice even if we died during conscripted labor.” The old man let out a long sigh.

“Grandpa, listening to your tone, I a.s.sume you are volunteering for conscripted labor?”

“Hehe, little girl, you are so quick-witted. I am planning on volunteering for conscripted labor.” The old man smiled bitterly, “I don’t have enough money, and I have used all my belongings to buy cultivation resources. I don’t know if I can live till next year.”

Sima You Yue sympathized with him: “Do loose cultivators like you have to go everywhere? Are you familiar with the situation here?”

“You’re right about this. If we don’t go everywhere, where can we find cultivation resources?” The old man said, “What do you want to know? Just ask, if I know the answer, I will tell you.”

“Look, we’ve only just arrived here and we are unfamiliar with the place. We don’t know where the prosperous places are, which places we shouldn’t go to, who we shouldn’t provoke.” Sima You Yue said, “Tell you what. I will pay for your entrance fee and buy one year of your time, we will also be responsible for your food and clothing and ensure your safety. If we do that, will you show us around?”

“Little girl, is what you say true?” The old man was excited. Rather than going into conscripted labor, it was a much better option to follow them and live a full year.

“Of course it’s true. Do I look like I’m joking?” Sima You Yue said, “Grandpa, are you willing?”
